Thats for football.Beginning this season, athletes can play up to four games without losing a year of eligibility, a boon to incoming freshmen or those who get hurt during the season.
That not true. I think you are confusing it with being able to get a medical redshirt. read the article I attached . Here is a small blurbFB can play in 33% of the regular season games (30% if you go bowling), and BB players only get 13% (4 on a 30 game schedule)? They should get at least nine games.
That has lawsuit written all over it.
FB players can play four games, as much as 240 minutes, and claim a redshirt season.That not true. I think you are confusing it with being able to get a medical redshirt. read the article I attached . Here is a small blurb
In basketball, if Gillis and/or Newman play one second of a regular-season game, they would lose their redshirt opportunity for this year. The duo plans to redshirt this season, giving them four years of eligibility starting with the 2020-21 season.
Doesn't seem very fair to me either.FB players can play four games, as much as 240 minutes, and claim a redshirt season.
A BB player plays ONE second and his/her RS is burned?
How is that “fair”?
I thought b-ball players could play in a small percentage of games and still be eligible for a redshirt. Especially if an injury is involved.FB players can play four games, as much as 240 minutes, and claim a redshirt season.

Well except the Ryan McMahon’s.Again, men's basketball players don't need five years to play four anymore. They've got their degrees in four years, and they're as good as they're gonna get in four years as far as pro potential. That's why there's no "fairness" issue--none of them care about that fifth year...
They can play a few games and if they get hurt they can get a medical redshirt but if they play any games at all without an injury the don't get one.I thought b-ball players could play in a small percentage of games and still be eligible for a redshirt. Especially if an injury is involved.
McMahon is an exception in P5 basketball. He wants to play college ball and has no pro potential. I'm not sure you change an all encompassing rule so that McMahon can get more eligibility.Well except the Ryan McMahon’s.
Well I agree. The 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility was never meant to give kids more opportunity to reach a professional opportunity. It was designed for kids who find out they made the wrong choice or things just didn’t work out for them because they weren’t offer an opportunity.McMahon is an exception in P5 basketball.

Transfers like Sutton and Enoch are better examples. Of course, we're headed toward a one-time transfer rule. Neither of those guys would have sat out most of a full year and played only a few games during their first year after transferring. They would have played a full year immediately and left college after no more than four years.
A redshirt year is irrelevant for a player talented enough to play early in his career. And a kid who's not good enough to play early is not that relevant to the college game and would probably wanna move on with his life after four years anyway...
